Landscapes Golf Management has been selected to manage Wild Ridge and Mill Run golf courses at the Wild Ridge Golf and Event Center in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
"In light of the retirement of our general manager and food-and-beverage manager, our RFP review committee embarked on a nationwide search for a third-party operator to help us build on our success the past two decades," president of the Wild Ridge Golf and Event Center ownership group Darin McFadden said. “Landscapes Golf Management delved deep into our business needs and presents the most promising opportunity to achieve our objectives and elevate our business to new heights.”
“We are primed to hit the ground running,” Landscapes Golf Management president Tom Everett said. “Our primary objective is to show the community the utmost in golf course, event and overall social and recreational enjoyment while serving as a business driver for Wild Ridge Event Center ownership.”
An 18-hole, links-style layout, Wild Ridge presents five sets of tees from 5,200 to 7,000-plus yards. Golfers play with spectacular views, dramatic elevation changes, sunsets from the clubhouse overlooking the back nine and abundant wildlife, including deer, turkeys and eagles.
Built in a quiet, park-like setting, the Mill Run layout is rife with strategically placed bunkers and hazards, and subtly breaking greens to challenge better players and provide reprieves for others. The course is walkable from 4,750 to 6,100 yards.
